Other: Corey's parents described him as a “big teddy bear” who loved football and history; sold curbside address paintings; and wanted to join the military like his father. “Somebody stole him from us. ... We are all trying to learn how to live without Corey's physical being,” his mom, Pamela, said in December. “He's a character, he really is — he really was,” said his father, retired Sgt. 1st Class James Benton.
